    Broner doesn't do well against people who swarm him. Mikey doesn't do that.

        I want Mikey to win but I'll be honest and said it from the beginning, I think he bit off more than he can chew. Can't phrase it any better.

          Yeah if I'm purely looking at skills I still go with Mikey but Broner has size and a really good counter.

            Paulie beat him, granados beat him, ponce de leon arguably beat him.

            He won world titles via vacant belts or against random nobodies.

            the two times he fought decent fighters he got the **** beat outta him. lost 11 rounds to 1 v porter and made to be madianas b*tch in the other

            The biggest POS overrated scumbag in recent boxing history, he will probably quit tonight, after getting battered, and hopefully we'll never see him again.

              Broner is talented and he's never really been beat up. He looked awful against Maidana but he had some good moments especially towards the end of the fight when Maidana started to fade. I'm solid picking Mikey but he hasn't faced anyone like Broner. If this fight get into the late rounds who is to say how Garcia will hold up. He really hasn't gone long distances and he's only fought twice in 3 years. It wouldn't be a shock if Broner pulled this off, I just can't pick him.

                The big question is how Mikey's chin is gonna hold up. Broner dropped Porter late and Porter is a sturdy big guy.

                Mikey is the better boxer but who knows IF/when Broner lets his hands go.

                  Mikey is the smaller guy..we haven't seen Broner fighter a smaller figther in ages.

                    If Broner opens up, all i see are more opportunites for the counters by Garcia. Garcia one of the most accurate with shots and timing and Broner has a leaky guard at the best of times. Still a good fight though. Weight is the only thing attracting me to this but Mikey's a really big 135 anyways so I can't see a problem there.
                    Better boxer usually wins (Mikey) but not sure Mikey has faced anyone who hits as hard.

                    Broner will probably be Broner and **** up but I noticed late money on him at the book.
